SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters atent No.- 781,192, dated January 31, 1905.

Application filed may 16, 1904. Serial No. 208,179.

Be it known that L'MURDOCH C. DINGWALL, of New Haven,

and useful Improvement in Pail-Like Pack ages for Retailing Tub-Butter; and I do here- I by declare the following, when taken in cona pail-like package nection with the accompanying drawings, and the numerals of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in.

Figure 1, a perspective view of a package or box constructed in accordance with my invention and'shown as open; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section thereof, shown with its cover-flaps turned inward into their closed positions; Fig. 3, an end view thereof. shownwith its cover-flaps closed and its lockingflaps interlocked and its lower part in section; Fig. 4, a plan view of the package 'as closed with the central portionsofthe upper reaches of its handle-flaps broken away;

Fig. 5, a view of such a blankas may be used in making my improved tub-butter package.

My invention relates to an improvement in that class of pail-like paper packages which are designed to be used by retail merchants in place of wrapping-paper or bags.

my invention relates to designed with particular used for doing up= a More specifically reference to being pound of tub-butter, the sections of which wedge-like in form,

as cut'fromthe mass are the object being to produce at a low cost for manufacture a convenient and attractive package-for the retailer to use in putting up tub-butter in pounds for his customers.

With these ends in view; my invention consists in a pail-like package for wedgelike sec-' tions oftub-butter, the said package having certain details .of construction, as will be -hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In carrying out my invention as herein shown I produce from a suitable blank a paillike package having a wedge-like body comprising triangular sides 2 2 and rectangular ends 3 3. The said ends 3 3 terminate at their upper edges in cover-flaps 4 4, made long in the county of N ew. Haven; and State of Connecticut, have invented a new' up. I would therefore have enough to pass or lap by each other'when folded down, as shown in Fig. 2, to close the open body. The upper edges of the triangular sides 2 2 terminate in rounded bail-likeh'andle-flaps 5 5, receiving between them the said cover-flaps 2 2, when the same are folded inward and down, as described. The said handle-flaps are centrally cut away-to form locking-flaps 6 6, respectively, hav-ing oppositely-arranged locking-fingers .7 7, which These, packages or'boxes may be made at a adapted for. the display Ihave spoken of them being designed for pound slices of butter; butdof course they may be varied in size as desire I low cost and are well of advertising matter.

The blank shown in Fig.5 comprises in ad-- dition to the parts specified a'retaining-flap 9, formed on the right-hand side 2 and designed to be pasted to the inner face of the left-hand end 3, and a bottom flap 10; formed on the i other end 3 and designedtobe folded within so to speak, set

the package when the blank is,

it understood that I do not limit myself to the exact form erty to make such departures therefrom as .fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.

- Having fully described'my invention, what I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is V 1. A pail-like tions of tub-butter, the saidpackage having two triangular lar ends forming awedge-like body, and each package for wedge-like sec- 95 i shown and described, but hold myself at lib' sides and two rectanguof'the said triangular sides having an inwardly-folding bail-like handle-flap forming an extension of its upper end and each of the said rectangular ends having an inwardlyfolding cover-flap forming an extension of its upper end, and the said cover -fiaps being adapted to be folded inward between the said handle-flaps to close in the open upper end of the said body.

2. A pail-like package for wedge-like sections ofrtub-butter, the said package having two triangular sides and two rectangular ends forming 'a wedge-like body, and each of the said rectangular ends being furnished with a cover-flap forming an extension of its upper end, and each of the said triangular sides being formed with a bail-like handle-flap I forming an extension of its upper end and witnesses;
